Bobcats And Human Land Use In Rhode Island

When: Wednesday, April 29 at 6 pm
Where: Kettle Pond Visitor Center, 50 Bend Road, Charlestown
Cost: Free and open to all! No pre-registration required.

Join University of Rhode Island PhD student Christopher Hickling and the Charlestown Land Trust for an engaging look at bobcats and human land use in Rhode Island. Christopher’s research focuses on understanding how human disturbance influences the movement and behavior of terrestrial mammalian carnivores, with a particular focus on bobcats. Participants will learn how landscape change, development, and human activity shape wildlife behavior and what this reveals about the health and connectivity of our region’s natural systems.

About Christopher Hickling: Chris is a PhD student in the Quest Lab at the University of Rhode Island.
